ANNUAL EVENTS

COMMUNITY TABLE

12PM-1PM1st Thursday of every month at Branchfood Community Table is for eaters, entrepreneurs, and students of food to connect and exchange ideas. A model created by Babson's Food Sol, the design is always one table and one conversation, with the collective driving the content. People have reported finding partners, expanding networks, and reaching retail all as direct results of attending Community Table. We hope you'll join the conversation to network, discuss, connect and learn from others doing awesome work in the city! Bring your business cards, your lunch, and/or food to share with the group!
